No decision is free of cost to the city, which owns the building. The cost of taking it down is comparable to the cost of encapsulating the building. The money to bring it back to a usable condition is most likely available through state historical funds. Citizens are invited to express their opinions. This is the reason for moving the meeting to the City Council Chambers.
